Subtypes
Yokai Grifix (Grifix Subtype)
Details
Yokai grifix are a strange subspecies of grifix, only found in the Entertainment District in the Frozen Empire.
They come about when a grifix falls in love with a Yokai Manifestation and they manage to make an egg together. The baby will be a "Yokai Grifix" - an actual grifix with yokai traits (weird wings, horns, anything goes).
They are very rare, as yokai manifestations are rarely able to reach the form and solidity of an actual grifix, and it is even rare for a grifix to actually fall in love with one. Still, the yokai-grifix traits can remain active for many generations, so there can be many descendants of a single yokai-manifestation.
Difference between yokai-manifestations and yokai-grifix
Yokai Manifestations can take the shape of a grifix like creature, but that is not a yokai-grifix. The Yokai Manifestations only exist as long as grifix believe in their existence, and they cease to exist if they leave the grifix settlement. They are made of condensed grifix magic, which is why they are sort of compatible to breed with a grifix. (you can create such characters but you must select the "Yokai Manifestation Entity" species, not "grifix".)
Yokai-grifix are made of actual flesh and bone, they exist on their own and don't disappear if they leavae the settlement. Their yokai traits are formed by the magic fed into their egg by the yokai manifestation parent.
Traits
There are no traits and tiers for this subspecies, because they can basically look anyhow depending on who their parent is. If you are unsure, ask MysteriousShine on Discord about your idea, because they still have to maintain a certain amount of grifix traits to be approved.
When selecting the traits, you can only pick traits from the regular grifix. No divided or Trifix traits. There are no traits exclusive to the yokai-grifix, just regular grifix traits.
Grifix perception influence
Yokai-Grifix are quite strongly influenced by the perception of other grifix. Both their mind, personality, behavior and body can be slightly influenced by what other grifix think of them.
For example: if some grifix spreads a rumor that a yokai-grifix hates a certain type of food, they will start hating it even if they are unaware of the rumor. Their entire personality can be altered that way, if enough grifix believe it.
They body can't be influenced so easily but for example, if a grifix is in love with a yokai-grifix and thinks they're very beautiful, they might actually start to appear that way, having a glow-up out of nowhere.
Gender changing is a bit harder for them because it isn't so strongly influenced by their desire to change as it is by other grifix's perception of them, so unless they convince the others to see them as the right gender it would be practically imposible to change.
